WrestleMania Main Event Day 2: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena, WWE Undisputed Championship, WrestleMania 41

Who would have thought John Cena be a heel in his last WrestleMania match?

The WWE Universe has been in chaos ever since their favorite legend turned heel. John Cena turning heel on Cody Rhodes was the most unpredictable moment in WWE history. The storyline that started when he joined hands with The Rock now enters the decisive phase when he wrestles for the WWE Undisputed Championship against Cody Rhodes.

John Cena announced that he would retire from WWE after 2025 and started his retirement tour at the Netflix Premiere of Raw. He took part in the 2025 Royal Rumble and ended up being runner-up after Jey Uso eliminated him to win the Rumble. John Cena entered the Elimination Chamber and gave his fans peace of mind when he won it. The happiness didn’t last long as their hero had sold his soul to the final boss.

As Harvey Dent once said, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself turn into a villain. No one wished such a thing would happen with John Cena, who was a symbol of goodness for 20 long years. John Cena is a 16-time World Champion and is seeking his 17th world title. This time, however, he vowed to retire the title with him.

John Cena is known for turning the crowd on his side with his promo, and he is doing the exact opposite since the Elimination Chamber. He and Cody Rhodes have been going haywire against each other in their promos. Cody Rhodes, however, was able to deliver a Cross Rhodes to John Cena on two occasions now.

Will John Cena be able to win his 17th title, or will Cody save the title from getting retired? Will John Cena be able to redeem himself one last time and prove Cody’s time is up, and his time is now?
